Symbolic Model Checking is a formal verification method that uses symbolic representations, such as Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), to efficiently explore the state space of a system and check properties expressed in temporal logics like CTL or LTL. This approach allows for the verification of systems with extremely large or even infinite state spaces by avoiding explicit enumeration of all possible states.

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are data structures that represent Boolean functions in a compressed form, enabling efficient manipulation and evaluation of these functions. They are widely used in computer-aided design, formal verification, and model checking due to their ability to handle complex logical expressions with reduced computational overhead.

State space is a mathematical model used to describe a system by its states and the transitions between them, providing a framework for analyzing dynamic systems. It is a crucial concept in fields like control theory, artificial intelligence, and operations research, aiding in the understanding and prediction of system behavior over time.
